What could create a boundary violation when working with a peer?

Accepting a small coffee gift
Accepting an expensive gift from a peer
Offering advice on personal issues
Planning social activities together

The correct answer is: Accepting an expensive gift from a peer

Accepting an expensive gift from a peer can lead to a boundary violation because it may create an imbalance in the professional relationship. In recovery coaching and similar support roles, maintaining professional boundaries is crucial to ensure that the relationship remains focused on the client’s needs and does not become influenced by personal favors or financial exchanges. When one accepts substantial gifts, it can create expectations or feelings of indebtedness, which could cloud judgment or lead to perceptions of favoritism or manipulation. This compromises the integrity and trust necessary in a peer relationship, making it difficult to maintain a clear professional dynamic. In contrast, accepting a small coffee gift, offering advice on personal issues, or planning social activities together might not necessarily lead to a boundary violation, provided they are approached with care and do not interfere with the primary supportive relationship. These interactions can often be part of building rapport and trust, as long as they are handled appropriately and within professional limits.
